Description: Science and Values: Explorations in Philosophy and the Social Sciences By John A.

Red cloth with green-stamped spine title. Color illustrated dust jacket. Includes epilogue and index. First Edition "The present volume of essays may be best understood as a series of preliminary explorations in uncharted domains of philosophy and the social sciences. The essays are characterized by two inter-weaving themes: first, the role of value judgments in the social sciences; second, the bearing of social philosophy and the social sciences upon social action. Some consideration is given also to the respective functions of philosophy and the social sciences in the educational process" [from the dust jacket]. As noted, signed by the author on the title page; otherwise, the book is in Very Good Plus Condition: pages clean, tight, and unmarked; endpapers lightly soiled. Dust Jacket is in Good Condition: chipped and creased both ends of the spine and along the top and bottom edges of both sections. Relatively scarce signed copy.
